Customer Reviews Hoka Clifton 9

I walk daily, sometimes up to 8 miles. I also overpronate and my feet feel supported in these shoes.

I'm coming off of a lower back strain, pushing 40, and frustrated with every shoe that doesn't help me run my normal 11 min mile. I've ran my whole life it's what keeps me happy, focused, and healthy. I was a long time asics kyano fan but every few years the shoe is changed and it's not enough padding for me and brooks too wide for my narrow foot. I've tried all the shoes! After a two month break from running to heal my back I tried the hoka bondi 8. I'm great full that they allowed me to run again without back pain but..I could not get used to being a 13 min mile or how sluggish I feltwhat I loved, running, became so laborious-like running in a bounce house or on a beach. So I tried old school pegs from Nike.knees were horrible after and my back was stiff. I went back to hoka and tried the Clifton 9. They felt so fun, springy, easy, and did not add time to my miles. Ran 2 today (working back up to my daily 30 min/ 3 mi) and my back, knees, hips, ankles feel great! These fit perfectly (the bondi ran a size big and while a great on your feet all day shoe I could not get used to running in them) hoka clifton is my unicorn I Found it and am so excited!

To be completely honest, I haven't bought hokas because the designs are not my style. I finally caved when my feet keep falling out of my shoes due to my supination and I just was never comfortable running. I have high arches and these work for me so well. Since clifton 9s are new I just went ahead and got it due to the neutral and plush side of it. The reviews almost made me change my mind but I'm glad I bought it. Everyone's feet are different so I decided to just try and return if I don't like it. These are definitely a game changer for me. Absolutely comfortable and enough room for my wide feet (the wide ones obviously). If you have high arches, I definitely recommend these!

I have been a long time Hoka and Clifton wearer and I wasn't a fan of the 8's at all (fabric and fit). While the 9's aren't like the 7's (my favorite) they fit well! I have been running in Hoka's since 2011.

Can you please make the "wide" shoes in the black/mukti/rainbow color???? I don't think we bunion suffers should always have to get the only available colors for "wide" feet. I earned these bunions from 30 years of ER/ICU nursing. I may be a retired grandma but I'm still running and would like the non-wide colors!!!

Much better midsole feel- a more lively shoe underfoot. Terrible upper that makes a light shoe feel bulky. Running should feel like a streamlined experience, not lugging around a "blocky" feeling shoe.
